This is the view of the world from the eyes of a Sugar Islander. It talks about Anime, Boxing, Manny Pacquiao, Team Pilipinas and Fiba Basketball. It also covers Naruto and Bleach comic books. However, serious Asian society issues and Racism against Asians, Asian achievers in Sports are also discussed. Advocacies are carried on and never forgotten.

Manny Pacquiao never stops to amaze me. The National Fists of the Philippines will appear on an ad with several other "super athletes" such as Kobe Bryant, Roger Federer, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc.The slapper Calzaghe is not included nor is the Pretty Boy - thank goodness.

Pacquiao Joins World’s Super Athletes

Manny’s longtime coach Freddie Roach said that Nike Sports selected 10 of the top athletes in the world to be a part of their sports training commercial, Pacquiao included. It was filmed in Roach’s Wild Card Gym in California.

He is the first Asian boxer to win three world titles in three different weight divisions (WBC and Ring Magazine Super Featherweight Champion, Former world champion at IBF Super Bantamweight, and WBC Flyweight divisions).
